HGU Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Hi, I have been trying Mission 1 countless times now, and in 99.99% with the same outcome: After the third turn (coming out of the third turn ....) I set my flaps to 25 degrees and start the fourth turn towards the runway. After a few seconds, I hear "Max RPM, Second attempt, Flaps were not extended" I tried RPM of 90% all the way down to 75%. Always with the same result. The mission briefing says 85%, but that didn't change anything. Sometimes I could set the flaps to full, sometimes I even had the "pass the runway threshold at a speed of 210" before it complained about the Max RPM. It also doesn't matter if it is the first or the second attempt. I was allowed to touch down once, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what I did differently that time. Can someone please explain what is required to avoid that message ?
Morpheus Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 I have not the campaign but what is your speed ?
HGU Posted January 6, 2022 Author Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Hi Morpheus, the briefing says: When the angle to the runway is 10-15°, perform the fourth turn with a roll of 30° at speed of 280 km/h to align the aircraft with a continuation of the runway’s centerline. While performing the fourth turn, do not allow your airspeed to fall below 250 km/h. I am pretty sure I keep that speed. That is why the message about RPM is so confusing. Maybe it is about km/h and not RPM, maybe not. Is it about me exceeding speed limits or me being too slow ? I don't know. I cannot see any pattern, because I don't know what to look for. What I noticed in Youtube Videos, is, that those people are much farther away from the runway than I am. It seems my 8 o'clock is not theirs Edited January 6, 2022 by HGU
Solution Volator Posted January 6, 2022 Solution Posted January 6, 2022 I don't have the campaign, but it appears to me your IP is telling you to go around for a second approach and therefore orders to set full throttle (=max RPM) Looks like a condition for a trigger was not met... 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven
HGU Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 Hmmm, good point, I never looked at it that way. That could mean he actually complains about the flaps only. So far I ignored that bit as I thought it was obviously wrong. Although I have extended them, it maybe happens too late somehow. I will check. Btw I opened the mission in the Mission Editor hoping to get more information, but I couldn't see anything besides general settings like weather and time of the day. I have not worked with the Mission Editor before. I just clicked through the tabs.
HGU Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 Made it. This time I started my third turn much later (definitely didn't have the runway at my 8 o'clock) and focused on the flaps more than anything else. It all went smoothly straight away. I got the "no remarks, exit the runway" message. So I guess it has to do with some trigger zones for the flaps. Off to the next mission. Thank you, Morpheus and Pilot Ike for putting me on the right track 1
